SO you want to open a game store? Much like real estate, the joke goes that the easiest way to make a million in the game industry is to start with $2 million. Very few people get rich in the game industry. The only ones of which I know for sure are Richard Garfield and Peter Adkinson. One of them created Magic: The Gathering and the other one published the same game. Catching lightning like that has happened ones in about 30 years. A goodly number of people in the industry do well enough to have a solidly middle class lifestyle and even more do it because they love it, working very long hours for a lower middle class/upper lower class income. If you want to get into the industry, make sure you have enough capital on hand to cover ALL of your expenses for the first 6 months and do not expect to draw an income from the store for at least 3 years.
